Shorty antenna

[ramthis9501]

So I was just outside looking at the radio antenna and imo it just takes from the "clean" look. I'm thinking a shorty antenna will fix that, so does anyone have an extra one laying around or know where I can get one cheap?

You already have one...just take the ball off the top, cut to the length you want, and glue the ball back on.

I believe that's how Morgan did his and how I will do mine as early as tomorrow.

And it'll still work and pick up all the stations?

[ramthis9501]

And what kind of glue do you use to put the ball back on?

Yep, that's how I did mine. I think I used super glue to re-attach. You'll have to grind or file the tip down to a point to get the ball back on. I also sanded the ball a little to take out the marks I made from twisting off with pliers. Then coat with non other than plasti-dip...

How is the reception Morgan.

[myoung84]

Idk, I never listen to FM. I did test it shortly after chopping it and I didn't seem to have any issues tuning in local stations.

i havent had an antenna for 2 years. some a-hole stole my shorty and i never had it replaced

[ramthis9501]

Awesome sounds like this might be a project for tomorrow

I wish someone would tag my front right fender so I could have mine shaved. I had an idea to move my full length antenna into the wiper cowl so that I'd have reception but no antenna.
